CAG → STR
Which side of the plane to sit from Cagliari Elmas Airport (Cagliari) to Stuttgart Airport (Stuttgart)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Cagliari coastline upon departure, a more direct perspective of the Tuscan Archipelago, and the most dramatic crossing of the Central Alps followed by Lake Constance.

Molentargius Lagoon
Immediately after takeoff, spot the salt pans and wetlands famous for pink flamingos.
Elba and Tuscan Islands
Panoramic views of the Tyrrhenian islands and the coastline of mainland Italy.
Central Alpine Massif
Prime views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks as the flight traverses Switzerland.
Lake Constance
The vast 'Bodensee' marking the border between Switzerland, Austria, and Germany.
Swabian Jura
Look for the dramatic limestone escarpments and hilltop fortresses like Hohenzollern Castle during descent.
Request a window seat away from the wing for the best Alpine photography. For morning flights, keep the window shade partially down to manage the bright Mediterranean sun reflecting off the sea. On approach to STR, keep an eye out for the TV Tower (Fernsehturm Stuttgart).
